http://www.euronews.com/ With over 300 days of sunshine per year, Ain Beni Mathar in Morocco, near the border with Algeria, was the perfect site to build a thermal and solar hybrid plant.
The first of its kind in Africa, Ain Beni Mathar is a real opportunity for Morocco to explore alternative sources.
The country suffers greatly from its energy dependence, importing 97% of its coal and oil energy needs.
The NationalOffice of Energy and the African Development Bank have opened the doors of the plant to euronews. On a guided tour, the company's Chief Operating OfficerNour Eddine Fetian told us: "The principle is that the plant consists of two lines, two gas turbines, two heat recovery steam generators, one steam turbine and lines for production and energy discharge. So steam is produced by two sources: there is natural gas, under the normal combined cycle, and the steam produced by the solar field. Both vapours converge towards the steam turbine and are integrated at the same time to produce electric power.
The total output of the power plant is 472 megawatts, 20MW of which is solar, allowing it to satisfy about 10% of the country's energy demand. Ain Beni Mathar is supplied with natural gas by the Maghreb / ​​Europe pipeline.
Fetian Nour Eddine, the director of the Beni Mathar power plant also spoke about the intelligent energy recovery system: "So the combined cycle recovers energy from the exhaust gases to produce steam. Basically, after bring emitted, the exhaust gas enters a recovery boiler. The boiler is fueled by water and produces steam through heat exchangers. This steam then reaches certain parameters of temperature and pressure to enter the steam turbine, where it converges with the steam produced by the solar field to power the turbine and produce electrical energy through this mechanism."
The plant uses an innovative cooling system. The giant fans are air-cooled condensers. They reduce water consumption by 5.3 million cubic metres per year and from at least one million cubic metres per year, there'll be an 80% saving of water.
The plant's director also explained how the cooling system works: "Since it operates in a closed cycle, the steam powering the turbine must condense. And so we need a cooling system. The system used in this plant is a dry cooling system, which minimises water consumption. So in effect, it becomes an air-water exchanger. Through the fans it draws in fresh air and is injected into a heat exchanger to condense the steam, recycle the water and resume the cycle early. But most importantly, it reduces water consumption by a very significant margin."
The solar array occupies 88,160 hectares of the site: the 3688 cylindrical and parabolic panels follow the sun's path. The site is a testing ground for Morocco. A 100% solar plant with a capacity of 2GW (giga watt) will soon come to Ouarzazate.
Fetian Nour Eddine, director of the Beni Mathar ISCC power plant said: "Here we have this parabolic format, which allows the dish to track the exact position of the sun to maximise the radiation. It quickly reflects the rays back toward the collector. This is where you find a special tube that circulates the oil. The oil recovers the maximum recovered energy of solar radiation and then transfers that heat to the recovery boiler."
The plant meets strict environmental standards - allowing Morocco to save 12,000 tons of fuel oil per year. To halt its energy dependence, Morocco has implemented plans to produce 40% of renewable energy by 2020.

Update - 28 May 2015 - It only tooks us 16 years to find that the hot water feed to our mixer shower had a small plastic filter looking device in the pipe - this was restricting the amount of hot water making it to the mixer. We now have the mains fed hot shower we envisaged - my life is now complete ... and much cleaner.
Update - 05 January 2015 - Decided to buy some (water) heating oil for the first time in 20 months (as the price is good) - to refill the tank it took only 600 litres. With the oil price so low the real benefit of this system is reduced for us but it is still great to see our carbon footprint reduced so much.
Update - 14 July 2013 - was on vacation for a week and left system on to see how much it would use in 'tick over' - 1 kw/h per day. Put anti-legionella 'boost' on to see how much that uses - 2.12 kw/h - it only stayed on for 10 minutes as the water in the tank was already hot.
Update - 13 June 2013 - Wattage used by system has increased to 700 W/h but overall usage is lower - 14 units of electricity used by the system THIS WEEK ! ... READ MORE BELOW.
Our system was supplied and installed on 7th January 2013 by Solar Electricity Systems (SpringhillParkway, Glasgow). RHI payments still to be decided by EnergyCouncil but those will be backdated to us once they come on stream. Without RHI I will honestly say this has been well worth doing - knowing you can shower without the water going cold, being able to actually fill a bath, etc ... simple things that really stress you out when they don't work properly.
Without any RHI moneys I calculate that with the saving on heating oil of £500 per annum our system will be paid off in 11 years ... lets say 12 years to cover the electricity costs in use. The system uses 580 watts per hour when the compressor is running so the figure you see online of water heating for 33p per day is about right if the system is running for four hours.
I have put my system on a timer so it is only 'allowed' to heat the water during daylight hours between 10am and 5pm when we should be getting some solar electricity generated (thanks to EJBH1360 for that tip - see comments).
Very impressed so far.
For more info see a sales pitch video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAEt50jIaNQ
Update - 27 April 2013 - Week on week as weather warms up the system is using less electricity per week - currently using 18KW/h PER WEEK (down from 21 a month ago). By comparison: to heat our hot water per day costs the same as running a 10KW shower for just 18 minutes.

CSIRO has invented a new three in one solar air conditioning system that provides hot water, cooling and heating.
It works by using heat from the sun and employs both desiccant and evaporative cooling technologies.

Khan Academy

Khan Academy is a non-profit educational organization created in 2006 by educator Salman Khan with the aim of providing a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere. The organization produces short lectures in the form of YouTube videos. In addition to micro lectures, the organization's website features practice exercises and tools for educators. All resources are available for free to anyone around the world. The main language of the website is English, but the content is also available in other languages.

In late 2004, Khan began tutoring his cousin Nadia who needed help with math using Yahoo!'s Doodle notepad.When other relatives and friends sought similar help, he decided that it would be more practical to distribute the tutorials on YouTube. The videos' popularity and the testimonials of appreciative students prompted Khan to quit his job in finance as a hedge fund analyst at Connective Capital Management in 2009, and focus on the tutorials (then released under the moniker "Khan Academy") full-time.

Rolls-Royce | Permanent Magnet Technology

Rolls-Royce | Permanent Magnet Technology

Rolls-Royce | Permanent Magnet Technology

The AZ-PM thruster is the latest in a range of Rolls-Royce propulsion products using its permanent magnet technology. This technology is based on electric drive where the motor is in the form of a ring round the propeller. The moving part of the ring is a rim around the propeller blades which carries a series of strong permanent magnets. The rotor, fitted within a series of magnets, turns within an outer ring which form the stator.
When current is supplied to the motor from the variable frequency power supply the electromagnets are excited in a particular sequence and the resulting magnetic fields interact with the field from the rotor magnets creating a torque that turns the rotor and its propeller blades.
At the centre of the thruster the propeller blades are joined to a hub, which has two functions; to carry the bearings taking propeller thrust and provide radial location of the rotor, and to improve the hydro-dynamic efficiency of the thruster. Loads are transferred to the stator through struts. Both rotor and stator are sealed against water ingress and operate fully submerged.
Rolls-Royce PM technology is flexible, and is currently applied in this integrated propeller drive form to tunnel thrusters (TT-PM) and azimuth thrusters (AZ-PM). Other versions in which the PM rotor is arranged to turn an output shaft provide a high torque, low speed, drive for winches.
Among the advantages of this PM thruster technology are high efficiency (at nominal speed) over the entire speed range, leading to low thermal losses and eliminating the need for separate cooling systems of the submerged motor. Thrusters are compact and robust, and require less space within the hull. They are simple, with far fewer components than geared thrusters and are also quieter, with reduced structure and airborne noise.

http://www.euronews.com/ With over 300 days of sunshine per year, Ain Beni Mathar in Morocco, near the border with Algeria, was the perfect site to build a thermal and solar hybrid plant.
The first of its kind in Africa, Ain Beni Mathar is a real opportunity for Morocco to explore alternative sources.
The country suffers greatly from its energy dependence, importing 97% of its coal and oil energy needs.
The NationalOffice of Energy and the African Development Bank have opened the doors of the plant to euronews. On a guided tour, the company's Chief Operating OfficerNour Eddine Fetian told us: "The principle is that the plant consists of two lines, two gas turbines, two heat recovery steam generators, one steam turbine and lines for production and energy discharge. So steam is produced by two sources: there is natural gas, under the normal combined cycle, and the steam produced by the solar field. Both vapours converge towards the steam turbine and are integrated at the same time to produce electric power.
The total output of the power plant is 472 megawatts, 20MW of which is solar, allowing it to satisfy about 10% of the country's energy demand. Ain Beni Mathar is supplied with natural gas by the Maghreb / ​​Europe pipeline.
Fetian Nour Eddine, the director of the Beni Mathar power plant also spoke about the intelligent energy recovery system: "So the combined cycle recovers energy from the exhaust gases to produce steam. Basically, after bring emitted, the exhaust gas enters a recovery boiler. The boiler is fueled by water and produces steam through heat exchangers. This steam then reaches certain parameters of temperature and pressure to enter the steam turbine, where it converges with the steam produced by the solar field to power the turbine and produce electrical energy through this mechanism."
The plant uses an innovative cooling system. The giant fans are air-cooled condensers. They reduce water consumption by 5.3 million cubic metres per year and from at least one million cubic metres per year, there'll be an 80% saving of water.
The plant's director also explained how the cooling system works: "Since it operates in a closed cycle, the steam powering the turbine must condense. And so we need a cooling system. The system used in this plant is a dry cooling system, which minimises water consumption. So in effect, it becomes an air-water exchanger. Through the fans it draws in fresh air and is injected into a heat exchanger to condense the steam, recycle the water and resume the cycle early. But most importantly, it reduces water consumption by a very significant margin."
The solar array occupies 88,160 hectares of the site: the 3688 cylindrical and parabolic panels follow the sun's path. The site is a testing ground for Morocco. A 100% solar plant with a capacity of 2GW (giga watt) will soon come to Ouarzazate.
Fetian Nour Eddine, director of the Beni Mathar ISCC power plant said: "Here we have this parabolic format, which allows the dish to track the exact position of the sun to maximise the radiation. It quickly reflects the rays back toward the collector. This is where you find a special tube that circulates the oil. The oil recovers the maximum recovered energy of solar radiation and then transfers that heat to the recovery boiler."
The plant meets strict environmental standards - allowing Morocco to save 12,000 tons of fuel oil per year. To halt its energy dependence, Morocco has implemented plans to produce 40% of renewable energy by 2020.

On a guided tour, the company's Chief Operating OfficerNour Eddine Fetian told us: "The principle is that the plant consists of two lines, two gas turbines, two heat recovery steam generators, one steam turbine and lines for production and energy discharge. So steam is produced by two sources: there is natural gas, under the normal combined cycle, and the steam produced by the solar field. Both vapours converge towards the steam turbine and are integrated at the same time to produce electric power.
The total output of the power plant is 472 megawatts, 20MW of which is solar, allowing it to satisfy about 10% of the country's energy demand. Ain Beni Mathar is supplied with natural gas by the Maghreb / ​​Europe pipeline.
Fetian Nour Eddine, the director of the Beni Mathar power plant also spoke about the intelligent energy recovery system: "So the combined cycle recovers energy from the exhaust gases to produce steam. Basically, after bring emitted, the exhaust gas enters a recovery boiler. The boiler is fueled by water and produces steam through heat exchangers. This steam then reaches certain parameters of temperature and pressure to enter the steam turbine, where it converges with the steam produced by the solar field to power the turbine and produce electrical energy through this mechanism."
The plant uses an innovative cooling system. The giant fans are air-cooled condensers. They reduce water consumption by 5.3 million cubic metres per year and from at least one million cubic metres per year, there'll be an 80% saving of water.
The plant's director also explained how the cooling system works: "Since it operates in a closed cycle, the steam powering the turbine must condense. And so we need a cooling system. The system used in this plant is a dry cooling system, which minimises water consumption. So in effect, it becomes an air-water exchanger. Through the fans it draws in fresh air and is injected into a heat exchanger to condense the steam, recycle the water and resume the cycle early. But most importantly, it reduces water consumption by a very significant margin."
The solar array occupies 88,160 hectares of the site: the 3688 cylindrical and parabolic panels follow the sun's path. The site is a testing ground for Morocco. A 100% solar plant with a capacity of 2GW (giga watt) will soon come to Ouarzazate.
Fetian Nour Eddine, director of the Beni Mathar ISCC power plant said: "Here we have this parabolic format, which allows the dish to track the exact position of the sun to maximise the radiation. It quickly reflects the rays back toward the collector. This is where you find a special tube that circulates the oil. The oil recovers the maximum recovered energy of solar radiation and then transfers that heat to the recovery boiler."
The plant meets strict environmental standards - allowing Morocco to save 12,000 tons of fuel oil per year. To halt its energy dependence, Morocco has implemented plans to produce 40% of renewable energy by 2020.

Update - 28 May 2015 - It only tooks us 16 years to find that the hot water feed to our mixer shower had a small plastic filter looking device in the pipe - this was restricting the amount of hot water making it to the mixer. We now have the mains fed hot shower we envisaged - my life is now complete ... and much cleaner.
Update - 05 January 2015 - Decided to buy some (water) heating oil for the first time in 20 months (as the price is good) - to refill the tank it took only 600 litres. With the oil price so low the real benefit of this system is reduced for us but it is still great to see our carbon footprint reduced so much.
Update - 14 July 2013 - was on vacation for a week and left system on to see how much it would use in 'tick over' - 1 kw/h per day. Put anti-legionella 'boost' on to see how much that uses - 2.12 kw/h - it only stayed on for 10 minutes as the water in the tank was already hot.
Update - 13 June 2013 - Wattage used by system has increased to 700 W/h but overall usage is lower - 14 units of electricity used by the system THIS WEEK ! ... READ MORE BELOW.
Our system was supplied and installed on 7th January 2013 by Solar Electricity Systems (SpringhillParkway, Glasgow). RHI payments still to be decided by EnergyCouncil but those will be backdated to us once they come on stream. Without RHI I will honestly say this has been well worth doing - knowing you can shower without the water going cold, being able to actually fill a bath, etc ... simple things that really stress you out when they don't work properly.
Without any RHI moneys I calculate that with the saving on heating oil of £500 per annum our system will be paid off in 11 years ... lets say 12 years to cover the electricity costs in use. The system uses 580 watts per hour when the compressor is running so the figure you see online of water heating for 33p per day is about right if the system is running for four hours.
I have put my system on a timer so it is only 'allowed' to heat the water during daylight hours between 10am and 5pm when we should be getting some solar electricity generated (thanks to EJBH1360 for that tip - see comments).
Very impressed so far.

Update - 27 April 2013 - Week on week as weather warms up the system is using less electricity per week - currently using 18KW/h PER WEEK (down from 21 a month ago). By comparison: to heat our hot water per day costs the same as running a 10KW shower for just 18 minutes.

The AZ-PM thruster is the latest in a range of Rolls-Royce propulsion products using its permanent magnet technology. This technology is based on electric drive where the motor is in the form of a ring round the propeller. The moving part of the ring is a rim around the propeller blades which carries a series of strong permanent magnets. The rotor, fitted within a series of magnets, turns within an outer ring which form the stator.
When current is supplied to the motor from the variable frequency power supply the electromagnets are excited in a particular sequence and the resulting magnetic fields interact with the field from the rotor magnets creating a torque that turns the rotor and its propeller blades.
At the centre of the thruster the propeller blades are joined to a hub, which has two functions; to carry the bearings taking propeller thrust and provide radial location of the rotor, and to improve the hydro-dynamic efficiency of the thruster. Loads are transferred to the stator through struts. Both rotor and stator are sealed against water ingress and operate fully submerged.
Rolls-Royce PM technology is flexible, and is currently applied in this integrated propeller drive form to tunnel thrusters (TT-PM) and azimuth thrusters (AZ-PM). Other versions in which the PM rotor is arranged to turn an output shaft provide a high torque, low speed, drive for winches.
Among the advantages of this PM thruster technology are high efficiency (at nominal speed) over the entire speed range, leading to low thermal losses and eliminating the need for separate cooling systems of the submerged motor. Thrusters are compact and robust, and require less space within the hull. They are simple, with far fewer components than geared thrusters and are also quieter, with reduced structure and airborne noise.

I have another interest now - staged terror.

http://www.euronews.com/ With over 300 days of sunshine per year, Ain Beni Mathar in Morocco, near the border with Algeria, was the perfect site to build a thermal and solar hybrid plant.
The first of its kind in Africa, Ain Beni Mathar is a real opportunity for Morocco to explore alternative sources.
The country suffers greatly from its energy dependence, importing 97% of its coal and oil energy needs.
The NationalOffice of Energy and the African Development Bank have opened the doors of the plant to euronews.
